KC46A Pegasus is a multi role aircraft

can carry fuel / cargo / patients

54 patients max - 24 litter + 30 ambulatory

650 mph top speed - can fly from CA to MA in 5 hours

would be a great resource after a Boston quake - if they can find a
safe place to land

maybe they could bring an entire USAR team to Boston from California -
and then fly 50 patients to NYC

when I looked at the video I could see bld wreckage and/or heavy

and workers clearing out - so if he wasnt exactly at Ground Zero, it

they only have approx 10 of those statewide afaik

Montana Info 2019

http://dnrc.mt.gov/divisions/forestry/docs/fire-and-aviation/business/aggreements/

at bottom - 2019 plans for Wheatland County + Choteau County + Judith
Basin County - includes radio freqs and lists of fire rigs

this is ranching country

at least 1 ranch has a state brush buggy

at least 1 VFD just has 3 brush trucks

I think that USFS initial attack crews use 4 door pickups with service
bodies - dont know why they dont use a 4X4 fire truck - maybe they
dont want to pay for 2 CDL drivers over the summer

NG-MOA has totals of all Army National Guard trucks in MT - they also
can provide 3 medevac helos to standby at large wildfires - when
soldiers are mobilized to fires, a predetermined number of radio
operators are also included

"MSPOA" - cops have to be self sufficient with food and water for 48 hours

the other agreements dont have as detailed info as these agreements listed here

farming in the usa

npr was talking about farming the other day

its not as simple as - 'plant crop - water crop - harvest crop -
repeat next year'

some crops grow at certain times - some crops need to be tilled every
year - various crops require various amounts of water

there is a new crop with roots that go down 10 feet - could store lots
more carbon - does not need to be tilled every year

The intestinal microbiome undergoes daily shifts in composition that
are driven in part by dietary patterns. In an animal model,
interruptions in circadian rhythms intended to mimic jet lag or
night-shift work altered the normal cycling of the microbiome, leading
to metabolic disturbances (Thaiss 2014; Zarrinpar 2016). Emerging
evidence further indicates that the relationship between circadian
rhythms and the microbiome may be bidirectional, so that imbalances in
the microbiome can disrupt circadian signaling, resulting in a cycle
of disordered daily biological rhythms and metabolic perturbations
(Thaiss 2014; Leone 2015; Wang, Kuang 2017).

recently trump was confused about busing

recently trump was confused about busing

yesterday on NPR it was reported that Biden has always taken a
"confused" position on school busing - he sided with white voters who
didnt want "school busing" because Biden didnt want "buses" (not
exactly like that - but Biden has essentially been a weasley white
racist)

Senator Brooks of Massachusetts supported school busing and got voted
out of office

Now - in the USA - we have 9 million kids in racially segregated
schools - (which I bet translates into 10 million kids living in
racially segregated neighborhoods - no one in Washington DC has
addressed this for 30 years)

mostly TRS this week

a radio scheme for synchronized simulcast radio systems

lets say that there are 20 channels for fire/ems ops across the usa

all 20 channels are synchronized simulcast

---------------------------

Channel 1 is the countywide dispatch channel - with synchronized bases
countywide

----------------------------

Channel 2 is the primary onscene channel - Channel 2 only activates
the closest sites to the emergency scene - or the optimum number of
sites to handle the emergency

For a house fire - maybe just 1 site is needed

For a large highrise - maybe just 1 site is needed to feed the
interior antenna system inside the bld - or maybe 4 sites are needed
to beam signals into all 4 sides of the bld

For a large wildfire - maybe 10 sites are needed to cover all parts of the fire

---------------------------

Channel 3 is the 2ndary onscene channel - and it would function like Ch 2

Channels 4 thru 20 are the same

The ability to get the radio signal into just the area where it is
needed allows for significant reuse of radio channels - on the fly -
as needed

Re: Baltimore police get makeover

I smell a rat - response time goal is very vague

is it 90% of calls in 10 minutes - or is it - an average of 10 minutes?

they probably already have a 5 minute average like maybe most USA big city PDs

https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-md-ci-cr-crime-plan-take-aways-20190718-duzsdbhw2zagzh2tkiw2ug772i-story.html

One goal is - '10 minute response time to high priority calls' -
(which might translate to an average of 5 minutes)

it will be interesting to see if they can bring down their high murder
rate - and it is interesting that response times is a major issue -
(which they should be - but no one in the news media ever talks about
them - heck - the news media doesnt even know if "higher" or :lower"
is "better" or "worse" many many times)

first it will show you the average from 2013 to present

then you can select the latest week and hit 'apply" - that will give
you the latest stats

--------------------------------------

the 5 year average had bld fires with 1.2 min 911 call take plus .8
minute fd calltake

now - 911 calltake is .43 minutes for bld fires

overall - most totals seem the same for the last 5 years

priority 1 police calls - 2 minute call take plus 2 minute cue time
plus 3 minute travel time

bld fire - .43 minute 911 call take + .8 FD call take + .14 dispatch +
3.2 travel time - (not sure if chute time is extra or not)

ems priority 1 - 1 minute 911 call take + 1 minute ems call take + 2
minute cue time + 7 minute travel time

FD has 5 minute travel time to ems calls but there is a 4 minute 911
call take on those calls - ????????

nyc mayor vs power outage

Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Preliminary Power Outage Findings
from Con Edison

July 15, 2019

"The city that never sleeps cannot be left in the dark. While I
appreciate that Con Edison released their preliminary findings so
quickly, I am troubled that one of the few factors Con Edison
initially ruled out, the 13,000 volt cable, has been determined to be
the catalyst of the outage. Thankfully, as a result of the quick work
of our first responders, no one was injured and there was no spike in
crime in the five hours the incident lasted. Our City cannot be left
in the dark like this ever again, and we will continue to push Con
Edison for a full accounting of this incident to ensure they are
taking necessary steps to protect all New Yorkers."

in fact Manhattan is the eastern most license on this freq per fcc

trump having a meeting with media people right now

acosta press conference yesterday

https://youtu.be/DnJNUw1_LYA?t=3905

this is where it gets interesting

just listen for about 5 minutes

is epstein an intelligence asset? - "so so so so"

Lookner broadcast the conference yesterday but it is not in his
archive at YouTube today - maybe because he showed the press
conference via his feed even though he did not originate the video
stream - but the stream should have come from a gov website

and twitter just died at 254pm

the day the twitter died

FD ops after earthquakes

  1. hutting down ops - maybe that means keeping any fires away from the hospitals or LZs - maybe that means immediately evacuating brush areas on Red Flag days - maybe it means evacuating beaches if tsunami is coming - etc etc
  2. re earthquakes - I was thinking about that earlier - the FD priority has to be on preventing the greatest amount of life loss - maybe that means going to the nearest dam and doing a quick survey - maybe that means going to the biohazard lab and
